Former unified heavyweight champ Tyson Fury finally ends his boxing exile on Saturday, with a tricky-looking encounter against Russian star Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London.
More than one year after announcing his fifth retirement from the sport (following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk), ring king Fury is likely out to prove he still has what it takes at the age of 37. The long-awaited, all-British matchup against Anthony Joshua at Croke Park in Dublin in September is the expected reward should he claim a win on Saturday.
Standing in the way of Fury is 36-year-old Makhmudov, who has promised much during his career but has so far failed to shine when pitted against genuine contenders. What the Mozdok-born star lacks in pedigree, however, may be made up for in terms of recent experience compared with his opponent, with Makhmudov having fought twice in 2025 and 2024.
